This is the birding hotline report of the Madison Audubon Society for
Wednesday, April 26th.

CAROLINA WRENS were present in 2 locations this past week – at
Pheasant Branch Conservancy between Century Avenue and Park Lawn, and
in Wingra Park.

Shorebird activity at 9 Springs Natural Area is picking up. Seen this
week were GREATER YELLOWLEGS, LESSER YELLOWLEGS, PECTORAL SANDPIPER,
SPOTTED SANDPIPER, and SOLITARY SANDPIPER. In addition the caller
observed YELLOW WARBLERS and WARBLING VIREOS.

A birder reported finding a LARK SPARROW at Lake Farms County Park.
Also present were several warblers, including ORANGE-CROWNED, PALM,
PINE, and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS.

Additional prime spots for migrants appear to be Pheasant Branch and
the UW Arboretum for warblers and the County V ponds in northern Dane
County for shorebirds.

Good birding!
